Scott Simpson

Clinical Social Worker

I work primarily with adults and adolescents. I do family work in support of the individual work, but do not do ongoing family or couples therapy. I have experience working with a broad range of clients and problems but most of my experience is working with difficulties associated with depression, problems with expression of anger, and teen/parent difficulties.

I use a "solution focused" approach -- I try to focus on doing more of what works rather then less of what does not. I have a psychoanalytic background and use cognitive and behavioral techniques. In the past I have led groups with court referred adults and teens who have problems expressing their anger non-abusively.

Rates & Insurance

Breakthrough has not yet partnered with all insurance companies, but you or the therapist you select may contact your insurer about covering your online care. We strive to accept all insurers but we can not guarantee coverage.

If you receive care on Breakthrough but your insurer declines coverage, you will be billed at the therapist's self-pay rate.

If you can not find a therapist who accepts your insurance, call us at 1-888-282-2522 and we will try to find a therapist who can see you.

If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a free, 24-hour hotline, at 1.800.273.8255. If your issue is an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Breakthrough does not offer crisis counseling or emergency services.
